Ian Somerhalder & Nikki Reed Ready For Kids: They’re ‘Practicing’

So exciting! Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are ready to have some vampire babies. The ‘Vampire Diaries’ star gushed about wanting to start a family with his wife at an event on Sept. 10, saying they’re ‘practicing.’

Ian Somerhalder says he and wife Nikki Reed are actively engaging in “perfect practice” while trying to conceive a baby. During a Words With Friends event on Thursday, Sept. 10, Ian got super excited when talking about becoming a father.

“It’s the most incredible thing to be happy and secure in something. It’s a pretty crazy time and place to bring a child into this turbulent and insane world — but I really can’t wait to do it and really just love it,” he added.

Ian and Nikki, 27 — who starred in the Twilight franchise — got married on April 26 after nine months of dating. Following the quiet ceremony at the Tuscali Mountain Inn in Topanga, Calif., Ian and Nikki flew to Tulum, Mexico for their honeymoon, where they showed off their hot bods and engaged in plenty of PDA. And earlier this month, the couple shared stunning photos from their wedding day, which will be featured in a fall issue of Brides magazine.

Based on the pictures and the way Ian gushed about fatherhood, we can’t imagine it’ll be long before Nikki gets pregnant. Ian seems to be counting down the days until it happens. And we can’t blame him — he and Nikki are so perfect together.
